Showered With Blessings!!!




We have been so blessed recently (and throughout this whole pregnancy) that we just wanted to give a little "praise report" so to speak. It all began with our trip back to Canada back in October when we were blessed with bags of maternity clothes (from jackets to bathing suit and all in between), gift certificates and beginner baby supplies- thank you again!! Then we've been continually blessed throughout these past months with more of our baby supply needs being met. We were given a beautiful crib/cot from some friends and co-workers here in England and I found a fantastic deal on the bedding and curtains at a local charity shop. Then we were blessed by finding a great change table at a seriously reduced price at
IKEA, thanks to Ronnie's great shopping skills! He managed to find the change table that we wanted in a very tattered and torn up box with only a slight scratch on it, needless to say, they gave us a 40% discount on the change table! We also were able to buy me my dreamed of nursing chair with some saved up christmas money (a local baby store has a "seconds" section to their furniture section and after much looking, waiting and continuous monitoring of their items, the chair we wanted finally arrived in their "seconds" department- horray!). Furthermore we were very blessed by some other friends and co-workers who, very regretfully, had to return to the States prematurely due to some VISA complications. Needless to say, that if we end up having a baby girl, she will be very well dressed for at least the first year of her life. As well as being blessed with some very practical items along the way like baby monitor, cloth diapers (they have come a long way and are fabulous!), baby bath, travel play-pen, and a goorgeeousss stroller !!! We just feel soo overwhelmed with blessings that we wanted to praise God for HIS amazing provision for us through so many of YOU and your generosity!!!!! So thank-you and praise God, we are so blessed and appreciative!!!!!! Not to mention full of anticipation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh, thanks ladies. You are soo encouraging! Seriously, I cherish those positive comments- they mean alot when you're this pregnant!!! No real feelings Lisa, I sorta feel like I've missed out on the woman's intuition on this one...I have had some feelings like its a boy, but I don't know if that's just cause everyone seems to be quessing that its a boy, or because I really feel that way. Can't wait to chat, that'll be great. Feel free to call me anytime and I'll call back too- we have an excellent plan!!!
